IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

After careful consideration, we have decided to close down the forums and concentrate our efforts on the main Channel Canada website and our Facebook page.
We thank all members past and present who have made this a fun place to talk about the Canadian TV industry.

Starting tonight, The CW affiliation will air on WPTZ 5.2. Rest of the programming remains Me-TV.

As for WFFF 44.2, their daytime programming remains the same, syndicated programming, while entertainment shows like TMZ will fill the 8pm-10pm slots.

Works well for me. I can get the local CBS, NBC and PBS affiliates, but forget ABC and FOX with my digital flatbed antenna. With The CW on 5.2, I'll no longer have to wait until Sunday to watch Nikita on CTV Two.

"In the FCC's incentive auction, WNNE sold its spectrum for $50,464,592".

WNNE was a semi-satellite of WPTZ, licensed to Hartford, Vermont with its transmitter located on Mount Ascutney in Windsor, Vermont, shared with a Vermont PBS retransmitter. On July 22, 2018, WNNE's transmitter on UHF 25 was shut down, its NBC affiliation terminated. WPTZ's signal from Mount Mansfield doesn't reach Hartford.

In some twisted plan, WNNE's licence was relocated to Montpelier, located 85 km North, and Hearst affiliated WNNE to existing The Valley CW. The PSIP 5.2 is gone and was replaced with 31.1, PSIP display as "WNNE-HD".

While Hearst is laughing all the way to the bank, you'll probably need to rescan your PVR / TV if you're looking for The CW. Hopefully part of the $50 million will help them upgrade newscasts to High Definition.

We had a good run: 2006 to 2020. Thanks for the informations and debates.

WPTZ moved last summer in their new studios. They probably still use widescreen SD cameras for field reporting, but newscast studios are HD now.

WCAX (CBS) is changing channel tomorrow, Oct 24, 2019, from UHF 22 to UHF 20. Signal for all channels from Mount Mansfield were lowered in the last 2 weeks while engineers were performing upgrades and maintenance to facilities. For Montrealers, UHF 20 is located between CBFT 19 and CBMT 21, neither of which are expected to change channel.
